Chavez Mexican Restaurante

Chavez Mexican Restaurante officially opened on Monday, February 13th 2023. The Mexican restaurant is located at 5494 E. State St., which was home to the former Tumbleweed Southwest Grill, which closed in 2008, and later became Ichiban and Hibachi Buffet. “Everything has gone pretty good so far,” said owner Jose Chavez, who had initially planned to open in November but shipping delays got in the way. “I’m happy to finally open.” Chavez previously operated Fuego Nuevo Grill on Spring Creek Road, but instead of renewing his lease, he used low-interest small business loans to buy the 6,800-square-foot location on East State Street and he changed the name.
